Due to Anchor Group Services’ continued growth and ongoing success, an exciting new opportunity has arisen for a Security Contract Manager to join our team, overseeing the delivery of security services across a portfolio of customer sites throughout the South & West Yorkshire region.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing organisation where you will play a key role in ensuring operational excellence, client satisfaction, compliance, and commercial performance across a diverse portfolio of security contracts.

About the Role

Reporting to the Operations Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management and performance of multiple security contracts, ensuring services are delivered in line with contractual commitments, customer expectations and company standards.

You will be responsible for leading Site Managers, Security Supervisors and frontline security teams across the portfolio, ensuring services consistently deliver against contractual requirements, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and customer expectations. You will act as the primary operational contact for key clients, building strong relationships, and driving continuous improvement across the portfolio, while providing leadership, support and direction to teams across multiple sites.

The successful candidate will be a highly organised operational leader with experience managing multi-site security contracts and a proven ability to deliver exceptional service, maintain compliance, and drive performance across a diverse portfolio of sites.

  • Support business continuity planning and ensure sites remain resilient to operational disruptions.
  • Manage deployment, workforce planning, recruitment requirements, and absence management across the portfolio.
  • Conduct performance reviews, welfare meetings, investigations, and disciplinary processes in partnership with HR.
  • Monitor contract performance, budgets, and labour costs to ensure efficient and commercially viable service delivery.
  • Identify opportunities for continuous improvement, innovation, and added value for clients.
  • Support contract mobilisation, variation requests, and business growth opportunities where required.
  • Maintain accurate operational records, audit trails, risk assessments, and compliance documentation.

Requirements

  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate, develop, and manage remote teams.
  • Excellent client relationship management and stakeholder engagement experience.
  • Strong commercial awareness with experience managing staffing budgets and contract performance.

  • Good understanding of SIA regulations, Health & Safety legislation, risk management, and security compliance standards.
  • Experience conducting audits, investigations, and operational reviews.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft 365 applications including Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
  • Experience using workforce management systems such as Timegate, Partner System, or similar platforms.
